A member asked:
Can a doctor tell if my 7 y/o has diabetes from their urine?

Check with your doc: The threshold is 170 in the urine. Blood testing for diabetes mellitus is better than urine. Check with your doc to be safe.

Yes: If you urine is positive for glucose, it means that your blood sugar is atleast 180 mg. Which suggest that you are likely diabetic. Your doctor will need confirm with your fasting blood sugar and will need to order more labs and educate and manage your condition.
